But no matter what I did, I kept getting those flats from apparent rubbing.
I had this experience with Mr Tuffy's too. The Tuffy tire liner is thick but what was so strange was the fact that sometimes I could go for months without any flats and then I could have 2 or 3 pinch flats in a row upon changing the tire! It lead me to believe the tire liner placement is an art and not a science. Go Figure.
Anyway. I'm trying Slime tire liners that are thinner and hopefully will reduce the pinch flats. What happened to me with the exploading inner tube was due to the tire liner actually makes it thicker and thus you don't need to inflate the tire to the maximum. In fact, a plastic nozzle like the Schrader valve is more likely to explode than a metal Presta.
